Конкурс поднимает проблему отсутствия жилья у большого количества беженцев по всему миру. Участникам предлагается спроектировать складной мобильный дом, который можно установить в любом подходящем месте. Такие дома не должны ассоциироваться с бедностью – предполагается их широкое использование различными категориями населения. Жилье должно быть всесезонным, экологичным и недорогим в производстве.
пресс-релиз:
The growing issue of homeless people around the world is one that needs to be tackled on a war footing. As our cities grow, each of them are occupied by a diverse narrative of migrants who make the city their home. A third of all urban dwellers worldwide – 1.2 billion people – lack access to safe and secure housing.
The gap is worst in lower and middle income countries, where some cities are growing so quickly that governments cannot build out services and infrastructure fast enough to accommodate new arrivals. The result is millions living in inadequate conditions and fraying trust in governments.
We aim to impact at least one needful family by using design as a tool to create sustainable and affordable product. We are focusing on 4 major problems faced by homeless migrants :
Affordability : Access to safe and secure housing which is easy on pocket and doesn't brand itself as housing for the poor but an asset which is useful for everyone.
Mobility & Portability : Floating population/seasonal migrants, who might not want to invest in property — an immovable illiquid asset, no matter how subsidized or cheap it is, we need a mobile/portable solution which is designed with innovative technologies.
Sustainability and Scale-ability : A design solution which sustains not just the weather conditions but is easy to maintain and can be replicated to bring a scale-able change.
Economic Opportunity : Can this new product design generate revenue either for the Individual/family living in it or the government?
